RIVER CRUISING FOR SINGLE OR SOLO TRAVELERSNO single supplements. Exclusive river cruise planning guide for solo travelers!

First of all, let’s just get something out of the way... This is NOT an article about providing or matching you up with a traveling companion, nor is it about those typical, sometimes scary, “singles cruises” we’ve all read about. That’s not what Premier does or is about!

The purpose for this article and the rest of the companion articles in our "Solo" Section, including: “River cruising as a Single or Solo Traveler” , is to provide those who travel solo with a better understanding of the many wonderful and exciting experiences to be enjoyed aboard a destination-focused river cruise vacation. We’ll also provide a glimpse into the spacious environment, intimate atmosphere and friendly ambiance of the luxury river and small ship cruise lines plying the rivers of North America, Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, China and Egypt. (Just take a look at all the river and small ship cruises Premier has for the "solo" traveler in the cruisGENIE™ Cruise Chart below.)

As you read the articles (and many of the others on this site), we hope they’ll build a level of trust about our company and an appreciation of how the Premier Team works with our single travelers — indeed, all of our customers — to ensure they always get the product that best matches their needs, desires, wants and budget; thus always ensuring they get the very best deal available along with impeccable personal service.

Why choose a river cruise over other vacations? Easy! River cruising has quickly become one of the most requested and affordable vacations for mature travelers looking for an in-depth destination experience. Because river and small cruise ships stay in port much longer than ocean ships, you get to see much, much more of the destination. And, the fact that ocean ships cannot even go to some of the world’s most exciting cities such as Paris, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Hanoi or Siem Reap to mention but a few, makes river and small cruising the best way to leisurely visit so many of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating places. If you haven't read our article, "Top 10 reasons to Take a River Cruise," please take a moment to do so!

For those who travel alone, a river cruise provides the perfect atmosphere for a rewarding, enriching and hassle-free experience. How so? Unlike huge, impersonal ocean cruise ships with thousands of passengers and lots of kids, river cruise ships carry on average only about 150 passengers and a crew of 50. The crew will quickly know who you are, call you by name, and make sure you’re well taken care of and incredibly pampered.

With complimentary pre-planned shore excursions in every port, you’ll never have to worry about what to do and who to do it with. You’ll travel in small groups with your own English-speaking tour escort. It’s not only a great way to see the destination, it creates an easy and comfortable way to meet your new traveling companions, including many other solo travelers.
